\title{Negative log likelihood for a dataset of interval-censored data, given a
distribution and its parameters.}
\usage{
loglikhd(pars, dat, dist)
}
\arguments{
\item{pars}{vector of the transformed (estimation scale) parameters}
\item{dat}{a dataset, as in \code{dic.fit}}
\item{dist}{a distribution, as in \code{dic.fit}}
}
\value{
negative log-likelihood for a given dataset, parameters, and
distribution.
}
\description{
Negative log likelihood for a dataset of interval-censored data, given a
distribution and its parameters.
}
\details{
This package uses two versions of each parameter, the estimation
scale, or the scale that is used for numerical optimization, and the
reporting scale, or the natural scale of the parameters. For all
likelihood calculations, this \code{loglikhd} function expects parameters
that are on the estimation scale, i.e. have range \eqn{(-\infty, \infty)}.
Specifically, this translates into all parameters for all distributions
being log-transformed except for the meanlog (i.e. "par1") for the
log-normal distribution.
